PORCH SHOP

from lakeside Maine with Love and a few hoofprints.
Welcome.
The virtual screen door is open.
Pull up a rocker!
Welcome to the porch shop with items inspired by lakeside mornings from the farmhouse, coffee on the porch, and the everyday beauty of Maine.
The seasons bring new finds. Some are sketched at the kitchen table. Most are inspired by the farm & our corner of Maine. I design everything you'll find here.
I'll be adding new artists & makers, too. Come on in!




Hello from Big Indian Lake.
And my Meadow Lake Farm.
And this little Porch Shop is where all my favorite worlds collide.
Books. Sketches. Maine life. Old farmhouses.
Design. Paper goods. Ponies. Strong porch coffee.
It's simply what happens when life around the lake spills onto the porch.




It's Fair Time.
In Northern New England the first changing leaves usher in the leaf peepers.
Along with opening the rounds of fairground gates.
The Agricultural County fairs have been a tradition since the 1800s.
Local farmers and kids of farmers bring out their best in livestock and goods.
From 4-H calves, sheep, goats, and pigs to giant draft horses to harness racers, the excitement is real.
The blueberry crunch with caramel smothered ice cream is to die for.
The barns are where young and old love to hang out.
The betting beer tents are buzzing.
And someone somewhere just won a ribbon.

Porchwear aka Porch Pajamas.
Proof that some of the best days begin before you ever get dressed.
Technically these are pajamas. Personally, I think they're porch attire.
And if somebody catches you wearing them to check the mail... they may just get jealous.
Not every outfit has to leave the house. In fact, it's an easy excuse not to.
These are for slow coffee mornings wrapped in a shrug, wandering out to water the garden with a cup of tea, or one more chapter on the porch before the day gets serious.
Soft blue gingham, tiny daisies, and just enough charm to make answering the door feel perfectly fine.
Around here, we call that being properly porch dressed.


Hot off the Presses — Our Critter Collection
From pony pens to pea hens, this collection celebrates the feathery, fuzzy, four-legged cast of Ditchmas. Meet them up close and personally.
Raise a mug to the real MVPs of Ditchmas—hoofed, fluffed, or antlered.
Durable, dishwasher-safe, and emotionally stable enough to hold coffee, cocoa, or your morning meltdown. Each mug in the Critter Collection is inspired from Ditchmas—whether it had hooves, feathers, or just real Main(e) Character energy.
Designed in Maine. Meant for mischief.
